Offered from the Edicarian, Belomoran Stage, Yorga Formation; Kimbarella layers (Stage ii) is a rare and well preserved double item for the Vendian specialist; a good sized (+/- 9cm), example of the tubular and segmented Incertae sedis Calyptrina sp., overlapping an ovoid Somatohelix sinosus (Sapperfield et al. 2011) colony (3cm dia.).
With clear peripheral definition of both organisms, and the slightly concave and segmented central body of Calyptrina, this is an impressive specimen,
The organism secreted a long, unbranched, and cylindrical tube, which had a flexible, organic wall made of a protein-chitinous composition. The tube's surface was decorated with fine longitudinal ribs and transverse rings.
Matrix approx. 14cm X 9cm X 1cm.
Great price for a fine double example of rare Vendian fossil for the serious collector...........
Although I sell a very wide range of fossils from Pre- Cambrian to Pleistocene age, I specialize in trilobites from all over the globe and in particular, British species.
I collect regularly in the UK, with more than forty five years of fieldwork experience and probably the best working knowledge of British trilobite localities. I have a doctorate and a masters degree in trilobite taxonomy and British Palaeozoic stratigraphy and an Open University degree in Natural Sciences.
If you are an amateur collector, a more serious scientific collector, or an agent for an educational organization ( e.g College, University or Museum), I can supply materials to suit your needs! I also buy whole collections and trade materials too. Visits are welcome,by appointment only.
